This week kicks off on a sad note - the goodbye party for CHEK TV. It is a loss for the people who work there  - it is never a good time to lose ones job and particularly now in tough times is is frightening.  I know the people there are talented and will find a job quickly because of that, but this has to be stressful to families and partners.  It is not a good news storey for Victoria, as an independent public voice is going silent.  CHEK  helped define Victoria, its heroes and villians,  what makes us Islanders special.  Goodbye and good luck!
